EMF, working with our
overseas partners, has students coming from France, Germany,Spain,Norway
South Korea and China. They are between the ages of 15 and 18
years, and are carefully screened in their host countries to ensure
that they will be able to be successful in an American High School.

Our students will
arrive with sufficient pocket money to cover personal expenses, and
will have comprehensive health and accident insurance coverage.

EMF students expect to participate as active members of their host family household,
as well as to share their own country's culture, history and traditions with their host
family, the high school, and community.

Our students speak English well enough to handle their school work. They will arrive
in August for the school year or fall semester. We also have students
arriving in January for the second semester.

EMF students are
monitored on a monthly basis by their local Community Coordinator.
These Community Coordinators contact both the student and their host
family to complete a monthly progress report. The Coordinator also
contacts the student's high school to maintain a check on their
academic and social progress.
